It’s been a good week for experiments. I gave a presentation on Web 2.0 and the enterprise to a large financial institution, and I took responsibility for the second half of a Web 2.0 workshop at a publishing company. On a personal note, I tried outsourcing some of my online research to virtualworkdesk.com, ordering gifts (and a suit!) off eBay.ca, and entering data into Geni.

Here’s what my week looked like:

Monday: PHP coding, rehearsed and delivered presentation on Web 2.0

Tuesday: Continued working on social media guide; back-to-back meetings

Wednesday: Worked on PHP modules

Thursday: Delivered workshop

Friday: Continued working on social media guide; presented guide to internal consulting team

Saturday: Marathon shopping trip for pasalubong, little gifts to give to friends and family

My goals for next week are to:

prepare articles and presentations for the two next talks on my horizon, which have both hit “urgent” status at the same time

finish the audio and video modules

turn the social media guide over to internal consultants

get an idea of the help I can expect from a virtual assistant

Oh, and it would be nice to sort out Ledger envelope budgeting again… =)

Speaking of Web 2.0 and the enterprise, I wonder if you are aware of the newish book wikipatterns by Stewart Mader. Two days ago, amazon.com said â€œyou might like this,â€ and â€“ apparently unable to resist the recommendation of the algorithm â€“ it’s due to arrive today. I can set up my own wiki, of course, but I’m interested in tips for intranet document/knowledge management, and especially how to get somewhat reluctant users on board.
